Brooke Vincent has showed off her weight loss transformation on Instagram.

The Coronation Street actress is currently taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice and has debuted her new found fitness.

Taking to social media, she writes "These are the before pictures that I’ve cried about, denied that I never looked like and wanted to delete or take again."

She explained "So, that’s exactly what I’ve done... Changed the picture, to a healthier, more toned, better version of myself. This picture is no way the finished product. It’s just what happens when you cut out all of the rubbish you eat."

Brooke explains "I’m not going to lie I’ve not been perfect, but taking out my smoking was the biggest health improvement I could have done. I never thought I would able to give up I really NEEDED something to turn to."

She said "Now that I’ve actually completed it, I’m so proud of myself, mainly from the smoking aspect, but more so because I never thought I was strong enough to take something so seriously and stick it out."

Judging by the picture, Brooke most certainly didn't look as though she urgently needs to lose weight. She does, however, certainly seems to look healthier and happier with her new level of fitness.

Meanwhile, Conor also opened up about spending time at Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin.

Sharing a snap of his training partner Ciaran, his wife and they're adorable little boy, Conor writes "Ciaran's son was a patient in the cardiac department in Our Lady's Hospital before. I went in one day on the low a while back and visited all the patients and helped out in my way for the department, and nobody knew about it, I made sure of it."

He explains "I was blown away as he told me of his son and his journey and that his life was saved by the people in the cardiac department in Our ladies... It's crazy how you just never know. I invited the little champion, my brother Ciaran and his wife today and it was great to meet the little man, thank you for coming."
